Being A Bisexual Woman Who Turns Into A Horrifying Beast And Commits Atrocities Is Actually The Hottest

A thirteen-hundred word fic that spawned from a partial joke. Brainworms turned into more brainworms, and here we are!

It is shameful that after months of pain and despair, Gazans now have to deal with being humiliated on tumblr. The way it is so easy to otherize a whole population because they cannot navigate tumblr like every other average blogger ; please remember that they have been forced onto this unfamiliar online space because they have to fundraise through a genocide! They are being bombed! They have no desire to go blog to blog and reduce themselves by begging to people, who might try to be a racist cracker to them.

There is no doubt that there are good people here. And it is with their help that Siraj Abudayeh ( @siraj2024 ) has reached his short term goal of $20000 CAD. I am requesting you to not to turn away now! Siraj still has a long way to go! He was so happy yesterday, thinking that soon he would be able to start rebuilding his home. Today however he is a bit sad to hear that there are people who are accusing his community of being scammers. He is not surprised though

This is why I am telling you to not turn away. To not treat Gazans as Zionists treat them! Do not humiliate them.

Thanks to you Siraj has raised 20k!! But this is not the end! Pease keep boosting and donating!! Let us get him to 30k

YES BRAINWORMS‼️‼️

Had a weird dream a while ago where I was playing Minecraft: Story Mode season 2 and instead of finding ‘Vos’ in the Sea Temple, you find the real Vos in this in-between layer of the Underneath when descending the stairs with Xara. Like, Romeo had bedrocked over the Underneath and then bedrocked over that layer a few blocks above, creating this small (2-3 block tall) in-between world with a bedrock ceiling and floor.

Upon discovering this place midway down the staircase, Xara mentions she doesn’t recall that being there. You as Jesse have the option to explore around or keep descending the stairs. (In the dream of course I opted to explore; I’m guessing if you didn’t, you’d either hear Vos call out to you or someone in your group would go off and look around instead.) The exploration part is pretty short- the area is very dark so you walk around for a bit with a torch.

Until… you come across what looks to be a person just standing there, facing away from your group. Instinctively, Jesse calls out to ask if they’re alright. The figure perks up and turns their head and torso to try and face you while exclaiming how nice it is to hear another voice. As you walk closer, you notice something around the stranger’s boots that are preventing them from fully turning around. At this point, Jesse asks Xara if she recognizes the person to which she has no clue. It’s not someone originally from the Underneath. How strange. Suddenly Jack runs past the group and hugs the figure. He exclaims that the stranger is an old friend of his and the two converse for a bit. (I don’t remember any actual dialogue.)

Vos explains that after declining an offer in the Sea Temple, the Admin got angry and sent him to wherever this is. He looks down and Jesse notices obsidian tendrils snaking out of the ground and coiled tightly around his boots and leg. He is not sure how long he’s been there, the last time he ate, or when last he slept because time is weird here and your hunger bar doesn’t deplete. Jack basically tells him it’s been thirty years to which Vos goes silent for a bit. Xara reminds the group they have a mission to complete. Unfortunately, without a diamond pickaxe, no one can free Vos from his predicament so you as Jesse are forced to leave him behind until after Romeo is defeated. Jack offers to stay with him until then, but Vos urges him to stay with your group and you continue on. I don’t remember if the dream ended there or if I just forgot the ending, but any MC:SM dream is a good dream in my book-

But yeah I wanted to throw this here for someone ^^

Max, turning in his chair and flicking the light on: You want to tell me where you’ve been all night?

Brax: I was with Jae?

Jae, turning in their chair: Wanna try again?

There's an idea I have from like 2019, back when I was still like active in the Detroit: Become Human fandom, where I was going to write the story of the Ionian Mission. I'm a science fiction enjoyer and I think it would've been cool to explore the space exploration, but also the knowledge that the revolution was going on at the same time. I might write it one day, but for now it's going to vibe as an idea in the back of my mind.

Athletes Go for the Gold with NASA Spinoffs

NASA technology tends to find its way into the sporting world more often than you’d expect. Fitness is important to the space program because astronauts must undergo the extreme g-forces of getting into space and endure the long-term effects of weightlessness on the human body. The agency’s engineering expertise also means that items like shoes and swimsuits can be improved with NASA know-how.

As the 2024 Olympics are in full swing in Paris, here are some of the many NASA-derived technologies that have helped competitive athletes train for the games and made sure they’re properly equipped to win.

The LZR Racer reduces skin friction drag by covering more skin than traditional swimsuits. Multiple pieces of the water-resistant and extremely lightweight LZR Pulse fabric connect at ultrasonically welded seams and incorporate extremely low-profile zippers to keep viscous drag to a minimum.

Swimsuits That Don’t Drag

When the swimsuit manufacturer Speedo wanted its LZR Racer suit to have as little drag as possible, the company turned to the experts at Langley Research Center to test its materials and design. The end result was that the new suit reduced drag by 24 percent compared to the prior generation of Speedo racing suit and broke 13 world records in 2008. While the original LZR Racer is no longer used in competition due to the advantage it gave wearers, its legacy lives on in derivatives still produced to this day.

Trilion Quality Systems worked with NASA’s Glenn Research Center to adapt existing stereo photogrammetry software to work with high-speed cameras. Now the company sells the package widely, and it is used to analyze stress and strain in everything from knee implants to running shoes and more.

High-Speed Cameras for High-Speed Shoes

After space shuttle Columbia, investigators needed to see how materials reacted during recreation tests with high-speed cameras, which involved working with industry to create a system that could analyze footage filmed at 30,000 frames per second. Engineers at Adidas used this system to analyze the behavior of Olympic marathoners' feet as they hit the ground and adjusted the design of the company’s high-performance footwear based on these observations.

Martial artist Barry French holds an Impax Body Shield while former European middle-weight kickboxing champion Daryl Tyler delivers an explosive jump side kick; the force of the impact is registered precisely and shown on the display panel of the electronic box French is wearing on his belt.

One-Thousandth-of-an-Inch Punch

In the 1980s, Olympic martial artists needed a way to measure the impact of their strikes to improve training for competition. Impulse Technology reached out to Glenn Research Center to create the Impax sensor, an ultra-thin film sensor which creates a small amount of voltage when struck. The more force applied, the more voltage it generates, enabling a computerized display to show how powerful a punch or kick was.

Astronaut Sunita Williams poses while using the Interim Resistive Exercise Device on the ISS. The cylinders at the base of each side house the SpiraFlex FlexPacks that inventor Paul Francis honed under NASA contracts. They would go on to power the Bowflex Revolution and other commercial exercise equipment.

Weight Training Without the Weight

Astronauts spending long periods of time in space needed a way to maintain muscle mass without the effect of gravity, but lifting free weights doesn’t work when you’re practically weightless. An exercise machine that uses elastic resistance to provide the same benefits as weightlifting went to the space station in the year 2000. That resistance technology was commercialized into the Bowflex Revolution home exercise equipment shortly afterwards.

Hurry! You Can Catch a Ride to Jupiter with NASA

Well, at least your name can.  

One of the planet Jupiter’s largest and most intriguing moons is called Europa. Evidence hints that beneath its icy shell, Europa hides an ocean of liquid water – more water than all of Earth’s oceans combined. In 2024, our Europa Clipper robotic spacecraft sets sail to take a closer look…and when it launches, your name can physically be aboard! Here’s how: 

NASA’s Message in a Bottle campaign invites people around the world to sign their names to a poem written by the U.S. Poet Laureate, Ada Limón. The poem connects the two water worlds — Earth, yearning to reach out and understand what makes a world habitable, and Europa, waiting with secrets yet to be explored.

The poem will be engraved on Europa Clipper, along with participants' names that will be physically etched onto microchips mounted on the spacecraft. Together, the poem and names will travel 1.8 billion miles to the Jupiter system.

Signing up is easy! Just go to this site to sign your name to the poem and get on board. You can send your name en español, too. Envía tu nombre aquí.

The Europa Clipper launch window opens in October 2024, but don’t wait – everyone’s names need to be received this year so they can be loaded onto the spacecraft in time. Sign up by Dec. 31, 2023.

We hope you’ll be riding along with us! Follow the mission at europa.nasa.gov.
